News

County Mgr. Stan Kelley

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – When they meet Tuesday at 6 p.m., the Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners will be asked to approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Dahlonega that will govern the use of the new fueling station and a contract with North Georgia Concrete to replace the asphalt parking lot and concrete walkways surrounding the County Administration Building.

The IGA would establish the rules and fees for the fueling station that is expected to be completed next month. The county is constructing the station and the city is providing the hydrant and water line. The County will be the lead agent on the facility and will operate and oversee its operation.

County Manager Stan Kelley will ask commissioners to approve a contract with North Georgia Concrete in the amount of $165,066.85 to replace the old asphalt parking lot and concrete walkways around the Administration Building to ensure they comply with the American Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. If approved, the work is expected to be completed by June 2018.

David Wimpy, EMA Director

EMA Director David Wimpy will ask commissioners to approve a contract with Emergency Vehicle Sales in the amount of $182,000 for the purchase of a 2017 Ford F450 Traumahawk ambulance. The purchase was approved in the 2017 SPLOST project list and the amount of the contract is $6,335 less than the budgeted amount.

Commissioners will also consider approval of several renewal contracts, including one with the Georgia Department of Transportation to provide public transportation services through June 30, 2018. The total operating budget is projected to be $126,314 and the county would provide a 50 percent match of $63,157.

Lumpkin County’s Transit Program was created over 20 years ago. For FY2016, Transit provided 4,900 passenger trips to the citizens of Lumpkin County to medical appointments, shopping, personal errands, employment, and school.

Planning Director Larry Reiter

Planning and Public Works Director Larry Reiter will ask commissioners to approve the Local Maintenance Improvement Grant (LMIG) application for Fiscal Year 2018 and commit to the Georgia Department of Transportation for pavement of three county roads totaling 5.9 miles. The roads include Old Dahlonega Highway from Ga. 52 to the county line, Seabolt Stancil Road from Porter Springs to the end of the asphalt and Lakeview Drive from Lumpkin County Parkway all the way to the end. Total cost of the projects is $1,347,335.

Approximately $650,000 would come from SPLOST funds, $150,000 from the county’s stone and asphalt budget and $549,04172 from the GDOT LMIG fund.
